history

The village in Pomerania , known as Kolkau (1400 Colkow , later also Kolukowo , Kolkow ) until 1945, was known as the Polish interest village at the time of the Teutonic Order of Prussia around 1400, in which cow, goat and pig interest was paid according to old Polish law. At that time Kolkau belonged to the castle district Putzig and was compulsory opposite the Ordensburg Putzig. In 1433, the Danzig commander of the order, Walter Kirskorb, granted Matthis Floder von Kolkow fishing with a twine on the beach of the Czarnowitzer Beke .

Around 1780 the district of Kolkow bordered on the villages of Ribienke, Lissow, Enzow and Gnewin.

Around 1840 a new lime distillery was put into operation in Kolkow .

In the 19th century Kolkau was a manor .

On March 21, 1874 it became Amtsdorf and gave its name to an administrative district that belonged to the Neustadt district in West Prussia in the Danzig administrative district of the Prussian province of West Prussia . Initially eight villages were assigned to him.

After the First World War , on August 2, 1919, part of the district was reclassified to the district of Lauenburg in Pomerania in the district of Köslin of the province of Pomerania , the rest remained under the name of the district of Kolkau in the district of Neustadt, but had to be due to the regulations Versailles Treaty ceded to Poland on January 10, 1920 for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor .

In 1930 the municipality had an area of ​​9.7 km². The village was the seat of a registry office and belonged to the district court Lauenburg in Pomerania (Polish: Lębork). There was also the competent labor court , while the Chamber of Agriculture and the Chamber of Crafts in Stettin (Szczecin), the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Stolp (Słupsk) were located. Stolp was also the seat of the trade inspectorate .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . Soon after, Kolkau was placed under Polish administration, along with West Pomerania and West Prussia . Then the immigration of Polish civilians began. The Polish form of the name Kolkowo was introduced for Kolkau . In the period that followed, most of the German natives were expelled .

After that, the village was part of the rural community Gniewino in the powiat Wejherowski , until 1998 the Gdańsk Voivodeship and since then the Pomeranian Voivodeship .

When the plans matured to create the Czymanowo reservoir in connection with the construction of the Żarnowiec pumped storage power station, the village was abandoned in 1974. The site sank in the 1.22 km² large reservoir filled with 13 million cubic meters of water.

Kolkau District (1874–1945)

The Kolkau district originally consisted of eight villages, to which three more were later added:

church

Before 1945, the majority of the village population was of Protestant denomination. Until 1945, the Protestant parish Gnewin (Polish: Gniewino) in the parish of Lauenburg in Pomerania (Lębork) in the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union and the catholic parish Wierschutzin (Wierzchucino) in the Free Prelature Schneidemühl (Piła) were responsible.

Due to the flight and displacement of the local population , there were changes in the church structures in the post-war years due to the settlement of newcomers: the Catholic church members were oriented towards Gniewino, whose parish belongs to the Pelplin diocese of the Catholic Church in Poland . The Protestant church members were assigned to the parish in Lębork (Lauenburg) , a branch parish of the Kreuzkirche in Słupsk (Stolp) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Personalities

traffic

The Zbiornik Czymanowo with the lost locality Kolkowos is located on a side street with little traffic that connects Gniewino (Gnewin) with Czymanowo (Rauschendorf) . Until 1945 there was the “Kolkau-Gnewin” train station, later only called “Gniewino”. It was on the Neustadt – Garzigar line (Polish: Wejherowo – Garczegorze) of the Lauenburger Bahnen . It was still in operation after 1945, but has since ceased operations. A newly built railway line to the Żarnowiec pumped storage power plant and to the Żarnowiec nuclear power plant is also no longer in operation.
